Chapter 60 :Guilt
---
The "education" ended only when Ho-cheol was almost on the verge of passing out. Although he felt like hitting him more, he had to stop because he thought Ho-cheol might really pass out.
"Ugh..."
The last time he saw Ho-cheol's face, his cheeks were so swollen and red that they were unrecognizable.
Se-won laughed refreshingly at the sight.
'There's no way he'll act up again after this.'
For a moment, the frightening word 'criminal complaint' crossed his mind, but he quickly erased it from his thoughts.
Since Ho-cheol knew what he had done, he wouldn't be able to report it, and even if he did, it would likely be dismissed as self-defense.
After that, Se-won briefly explained the situation to Eunbyeol. How things had escalated to this point, why Ho-cheol had tried to frame him, and the insults he had endured.
Eunbyeol, who had been bewildered, seemed to understand the situation somewhat after Se-won's explanation. She had her own thoughts while rushing here.
"Ah, yes..."
Se-won smiled bitterly as he watched Eunbyeol nodding blankly.
'I've shown her an ugly sight...'
He seemed to have acted too strongly in the name of retaliation. In reality, he had been angry, and his tone and voice had been sharp.
It was not a sight he wanted to show to someone who usually laughed and talked. It must have been quite a shock from her perspective.
As an awkward silence ensued, Se-won forced himself to speak.
"Let's go out for now..."
It seemed best to leave this place for now. The situation had been resolved, and it was better to walk than to stay awkwardly.
And honestly, he just wanted to go home now.
As Se-won was about to go out, Eunbyeol pointed at Ho-cheol and asked.
"Uh... what about him?"
"Leave him be. He's conscious anyway. He'll either walk out himself or call his friends."
"Ah, yes."
Eunbyeol nodded awkwardly and followed him.
For a moment, the sight of Ho-cheol with his swollen cheeks lingered in her mind, but she decided it was his just deserts.
Honestly, her sense of betrayal was quite strong. She had trusted him to help, but she never thought she would be used like this.
If Se-won had been scared as Ho-cheol expected, something big might have really happened.
Just thinking about it made her dizzy even now.
She couldn't help but ask Se-won.
"Uh... but have you ever learned martial arts or something?"
"Huh? No? I just messed around a bit in high school."
"Then, do you bench press over 400 lbs or something..."
"I'm weak, what are you talking about."
She tilted her head.
That's not it...
Normally, a weakling can't take down three out of five women...
Today, she seemed to be seeing a lot of new sides to him.
Unlike his usual self, who would freeze when people gathered around, he seemed quite composed when he was in a completely hostile relationship.
Perhaps he thought that since trouble had already started, he might as well do as he pleased... Anyway, it wasn't the reaction of an ordinary man.
'Especially...'
That look at the end.
After all the thugs had left and only Ho-cheol remained in the alley, the expression on Se-won's face was...
It still hadn't left her mind. It was an expression she had never seen on him before.
His angry face was quite intimidating.
The faint kindness that had been on his face was gone, and the cold, glaring eyes were vivid in her mind.
His face was expressionless, as if it would be cold to the touch, but the anger surging behind his black eyes was palpable.
Those fierce eyes seemed to have found their purpose and were eagerly crushing people.
His voice was the same.
He didn't use particularly rough language, nor did he raise his voice.
He just spoke in a slightly deeper tone than usual. Just that alone was enough to make the pressure he exuded hard to ignore.
Even she had frozen for a moment at that sight.
That was why she hadn't properly stopped him from mercilessly slapping Ho-cheol's cheeks.
What if she had actively stopped him and those eyes had turned towards her... Just the thought of it was quite frightening.
As she recalled Se-won's expression for a while, she shook her head as if to shake off the thought.
'Anyway, it's a relief.'
It was a relief that he had fought well. It was better to see him angry than to see him suffer.
She sighed inwardly with relief and cautiously looked ahead.
She could see Se-won walking a few steps ahead of her. He seemed awkward and was scratching his cheek.
The distance between them was only a few steps, but today, it felt too far for Eunbyeol.
It wasn't just because he had shown her many unfamiliar sides. It was also because she felt guilty about what she had done.
Ultimately, it was Han Ho-cheol who had caused the trouble, but she had unwittingly helped him. She couldn't just ignore that.
Every time she thought about it, her chest felt tight as if it were being squeezed.
Her heart, which had been turbulent with anxiety, had calmed down, but it felt as if a heavy stone had taken its place.
"......"
"......"
As they walked quietly in awkwardness and discomfort, she suddenly saw Se-won's shoulder.
Unlike usual, the skin on his shoulder was strangely discolored.
Noticing this, Eunbyeol grabbed Se-won's arm without realizing it.
His trudging steps stopped, and Se-won's body turned slightly backward.
She muttered in a trembling voice.
"W-What is this..."
It was a bruise.
A type of injury caused by internal bleeding under the skin from being hit by something.
Although it was small, it was still an injury and clear evidence that he had been hit.
"Ah, damn, what's this bruise doing here. No wonder it's been throbbing... That damn guy."
Ignoring the grumbling Se-won, she looked further down.
It wasn't just the bruise on his shoulder. Se-won's arm was full of various small wounds.
Some parts were red, and some parts had scratches as if they had been scraped against a stone wall.
They were minor wounds, but they were enough to tear at Eunbyeol heart.
All of them were traces of blocking or evading something. She didn't even want to imagine what the inside of his clothes looked like, given that just one arm had this many wounds.
'This is normal, but...'
Well, thinking about it.
No matter how well he fought, there was a limit to what one person could do.
There were inevitable losses, and in a rough fight, injuries were bound to happen.
He didn't easily win with incredible fighting skills.
He had fought desperately and barely managed to take down three people.
The pain that came with that process was not easily imaginable.
She had just been ignoring that obvious reality.
Even now, it must still sting and throb, but he was waving his hand as if it were nothing.
"Hey, hey, it's nothing. It'll get better if you just spit on it."
"It's not nothing!!!"
"Whoa, you scared me! Why are you suddenly shouting?"
She frowned.
After all, whose fault was it that it had come to this...
The guilt in her heart deepened.
Each wound on his body pierced her heart like a dagger.
Eunbyeol thought to herself.
'It's my fault...'
If she had arrived a little earlier... Even if her lungs burst, if she had moved her legs faster...
No, if she hadn't come up with such a plan in the first place...
He wouldn't have had to go through this.
Ultimately, it was her fault that he was injured.
She apologized.
"I'm sorry..."
Guilt welled up in her mouth.
"I'm really sorry..."
It felt as if there was a stone stuck in her throat.
Each mistake she had made came to mind.
She slowly confessed her sins.
She had participated in the plan, and the conversations over the past few days had actually been a scam and were passed on to Ho-cheol as they were.
She was now saying that she was as good as an accomplice.
With each word she uttered, her head lowered. The more her confession grew, the more her arms trembled.
For some reason, fear kept rising.
She was afraid to look at Se-won's face now.
He must be angry, right? He must be angry.
Now that he knew she had been involved in this, there was no way he could be calm.
Although her eyes were looking at the ground, her mind was filled with Se-won.
She imagined him glaring at her with the same eyes he had used to glare at Han Ho-cheol.
She imagined him reprimanding her in a cold tone. The Se-won in her imagination was colder than the one he had shown to Ho-cheol.
Eunbyeol heart pounded again with fear and worry.
'It's over...'
She was sure this friendship was over.
Eunbyeol decided to humbly accept the blade that would come out of Se-won's mouth.
Meanwhile, Se-won was confused.
'Huh?'
In fact, he didn't understand why Eunbyeol was acting like this.
'Why is she suddenly like this?'
Suddenly, she started apologizing, confessing her sins, and then started trembling by herself.
Moreover, the sins she listed were things he already knew.
She had already blabbered about it once in a 'screwed-up me' state. Since it was information he had already heard, he didn't feel much excitement.
And to be honest, Se-won didn't think it was much of a mistake.
'That crazy guy betrayed me.'
In the end, Eunbyeol was just used.
Who could have predicted that some crazy guy would actually prepare to frame someone? It was almost like a natural disaster. In the end, Han Ho-cheol was the one who messed everything up.
Se-won genuinely thought that Eunbyeol wasn't much at fault.
'Well, if being used is a mistake, then it is a mistake...'
He knew about the plan from the beginning and participated in it. If he were to be blamed, he wasn't in a position to say anything either.
And now that he had beaten up Ho-cheol, he was feeling quite refreshed.
'Hmm...'
Se-won looked ahead for a moment.
Eunbyeol was trembling as if she was very scared. Where was her usual leisurely and confident attitude? Now there was only a frightened cat. She looked like she might cry if left alone a little longer.
'I do want to tease her a bit...'
But he decided not to, thinking she might really cry.
Instead, he took a step closer to Eunbyeol and said softly.
In a quiet but gentle tone.
"...It's okay."
And he stroked her head as if comforting a crying child.
Where was the hat that had flown off while running through the alley? Now her glossy hair was exposed as it was.
Her hair, which resembled the night sky, looked very nice even in the sunset light.
Se-won smiled and continued.
"Don't worry, I'm not really angry. People can make mistakes, right?"
Stroking her hair gently. The feeling of the straight hair sticking to his hand was quite fun.
It was a pretty enjoyable toy in itself.
"...Huh?"
Eunbyeol lifted her head, which she had been lowering.
She had been sure that she would hear a reprimand. She had expected him to look at her with cold eyes.
But what she felt was the touch of a gentle hand.
What was going on...
She looked at Se-won's face to understand the situation.
The expression she had feared was not there. There was only him, slightly smiling.
He was smiling kindly as if to reassure her, who was anxious.
As she watched him blankly for a while, he spoke again.
"And anyway, you came to save me, didn't you? That's enough."
"......"
Eunbyeol watched the scene clearly.
She clearly imprinted the smile on his face in her mind.
The red sunset light softly illuminated the surroundings. The light coming from the side was reflected in his black hair.
The warm colors filled her vision.
It was a somewhat romantic and dreamlike scene.
For some reason, in that ironic scene where she was being comforted.
"Ah..."
She could only watch as if entranced.
